Here's the hard truth about Todd Blanche: he'll do whatever Trump tells him to do and can't be trusted to respect the power that comes with being the U.S. Attorney General. The Senate needs to reject him.

Reader, guitar player, overthinker. Adamantly and proudly anti-Trump and everything he represents.
10% of all construction last year was on data centers. $2.14 trillion dollars was spent on AI If we spent $2.14 trillion on helping humanity This is the perfect argument why we need to tax the rich If corporations actually paid their fair share we would not have income tax
Everyone’s expectations got skewed over the past week but Abdul El-Sayed getting $70 million spent against him in a state he lost a primary by like 20 points eight years ago and still winning last night is probably the most impressive electoral accomplishment of the decade.
It’s frustrating that Republicans have become a criminal and criminal protecting party and it’s sad that the people still vote for them!
On what planet did anyone think John Fucking Cornyn and Tom Fucking Tillis were going to stop corrupt, Christofascist Todd Blanche from becoming AG? So tired of people who keep going to the movie expecting the ending to change because media outlets pretend there’s conflict. They’re all bad actors.
I was in a friend’s rental car and in place of a rear-view mirror there was a mirror-sized digital video feed of the back of the car. They replaced one of the most reliable & intuitive safety features in a car with a digital surrogate that could glitch at any moment. KEEP ANALOG SAFTEY FEATURES
It's not just Elon Musk. Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett, and every multibillionaire built their fortunes the same way: by NOT paying taxes as their wealth grew. Without endless tax deferrals, they'd have a tiny fraction of what they own today. It's time they pay their fair share.
Can anybody point me to the text of the letters Grassley entered into the record at the end of the #Blanche vote today??
The House is on vacation, after accomplishing nothing since their last vacation.
The older I get the more I understand why cats just walk away mid conversation.
The problem with capitalism is if you have billions of dollars to build a data center, then a few million to bribe city council members is pocket change.
I honestly never thought in my life my objection to genocide or pedophilia would become controversial, thanks Israel.
Literally every move the Republican Party makes is designed to keep the money hoarders rich and the ultra bigots angry. It's a double win for Elon Musk who sits at the intersection of both projects.
You would think Potus falling into a deep slumber, every day, on TV, would be a bigger story.... ....but Sleepy Joe.... Our media is hopelessly broken.
Don't listen to what the politicians say Don't listen to what the media says They are all owned by the same evil people who want to enslave you Watch what the politicians do, & have done for at least the past 40 years That's were the truth lies, in their actions #auspol
Democratic voters should make a pact: We’ll vote for Democratic candidates in overwhelming numbers to rid ourselves of Republican majorities, but if they don’t rain down swift justice on the criminal enterprise now running things, and on oligarchs, then the Democrats will be next to feel the hurt.
“Iran-backed Houthis” is the same as “American-backed Israel.” “Arresting Venezuelan President” is actually “kidnapping Venezuelan President.” The media uses euphemisms to control the narrative. The media is complicit
Walking into the hospital shouldn’t be like walking into a casino–a complete gamble. Patients and employers should know how much they’re paying upfront with no trickery or games. Let’s pass our Patients Deserve Price Tags Act into law!
Trump is at it again. America "will never be a communist country" is the domestic equivalent of "Iran will never have a nuclear weapon." Both warnings are bogus, unnecessary, and designed to scare you into not voting for Democrats. They are designed to make you accept his fascist dictatorship.
The pitch to join the military isn’t “to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon” it’s “we’ll pay for you to go to college and you’ll get to see a dentist”
In New Jersey it was under a GOP governor that the election error occurred and it was a DEMOCRATIC governor who found it, reported it and fixed it!! Stuff that DJT!
I don’t know how you argue that Saudi Arabia can have a nuclear program, but Iran can’t. The majority of the 9/11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. This is insane to me.
DATA CENTERS: THE TRUTH "A big employer who uses the water of 50,000 people - which only hires about ten people - is not an employer. They are an extraction."
The strategic reality should be clear by now. Each night of US strikes and Iranian sideways retaliation, makes the US weaker and Iran stronger. It depletes more US stocks, makes the US look weak to its partners, and reinforces to the Iranians that their strategy is the right one.
Hard truth: The biggest raise you will ever get is from switching jobs, not staying loyal.
If U have been paying attention amid the countless daily issues of life, U would have noticed that every governmental agency responsible for our health & welfare has either been defunded or exists only on paper. The only 2 agencies that are consuming the treasury is The Department of War & ICE!
